Volunteer Workday: Paint and Plant at Surfside Garden Multi-Cultural Coalition

Join Surfside Garden Multi-Cultural Coalition, NYC Parks GreenThumb, and the Coney Island YMCA for a hands-on workday as we beautify the garden through a colorful lumber and rock painting project for children and planting a native pollinator container garden for all ages. This will be a hands-on gardening day with all tools and supplies provided. Please wear sturdy work shoes and weather-appropriate clothing and bring water and snacks. Note some tasks will involve lifting heavy materials and extended periods of bending, squatting, and moving. See you outside!

Surfside Multicultural Garden’s aims to foster a stronger sense of community in Coney Island through garden events, open volunteer hours and various beautification projects with neighboring organizations. We’re a large garden with over 50 beds and a growing membership list. This is a great opportunity to learn how you can get involved and join a growing garden!
